Games with a DEEP crafting system.
Hello. I was looking everywhere but my attempts were failed. Search target - the game, with very DEEP system of crafting. Some features that i looking for:
a) A lot of crafting recipes, as a "single stage", ie all of the raw craft materiatov (for example, to create a pick i needed a branch, rope and stone) and "multi-stage" (so you need to create the handle, polish the stone to just give it a form and then create a pick itself) (examples are purely theoretical);
b) Creating objects is carried out not with bare hands, and specialized benches, and not one universal vunderkrafterom and different: for the treatment of such skin - one, ore processing - other, forging - the third and so on;
c) Difficultly and completeness. The more complex, more interesting, more diverse and wider - the better.
d) (Optional) The ability to "learn" recipes. Like crafting system and study in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Those that tried, interesting / similar features:
ARK: Survival Evolved - system of "studying" recipes, a lot of different workbenches and stuff.
The Guild 2 - the entire game based on the craft, with an focus on the economy;
TES: Oblivion - interesting system of alchemy, which requires the right tools - the better the tools, the better the potions;
Wurm Online - best fits the above requirements - a lot of skills and a lot of things to do.
Factorio - crafting and ever making an factory.
Life is Feudal - the whole game is based on craft, and an awesome example of great crafting game.
Villages and Heroes [MMORPG] - a LOT of stuff to craft, but after some time it bothers.



The game that is with not GOOD crafting:
The Forest - well, there is a crafting, but not much stuff to do.
7DaysToDie - nah, not such a deep system.
MINECRAFT - NO, PLEASE, NO (well, it's kinda great with mods and even a modpacks, but NO)
[Enter other game with not a deep craft system]

So, i hope you'll help me and suggest some good crafting games. MMO or SSP - i dont care. Thanks!

Haven and Hearth for sure. Graphics are pretty bad but if you use the mods on the forums it's an amazing crafting game

Guild Wars 2. maybe? Has a pretty involved crafting system.
I haven't really tried the other games you list except maybe factorio.

It's an mmo that you either buy once or play a free version.
The free version has limitations on what materials you can buy from the open player market but you can still get them the normal way.
Worth a try, note that the game gets way more interesting when you play the expansion content.

Info about the crafting system. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting
The system can be pretty punishing if you end up crafting lots of mid stage stuff you can't really store in a good way and you get a full bank or a full inventory if you mess up.

Played H&H much time ago, kinda interesting, but there's some limitations in.. eh.. research? It's kinda weird in there, so yep - game is awesome, but i didn't liked the concept of research

GW2 - well, pretty nice one, but i dont like such big mmo games, where it's needed to live in the game, to make something sufficient.

Anything else, lads?

Warframe is pretty much based on it's crafting system. I'd go as far as to say that the only real proggress you make in the game is through crafting.

Fair enough - I don't like it much either.
